Warrnambool
Warrnambool is situated adjacent to the mouth of the Hopkins River and the beautiful Lady Bay. The town was once a busy port, particularly during the 1880s when it handled more cargo than Port Melbourne.

This picture shows the historic Proudfoot's Boathouse at the mouth of the Hopkins River. The building is now a tavern, tearooms and restaurant.

The following suggestions are just a few of the many ways to enjoy Warrnambool:

Boating on Hopkins River.

Explore the many walking trails such as this one across the long footbridge to Pickering Point.

A viewing platform has been constructed at Logans Beach for Whale Watching; a very popular pastime from July to September.

Quiet fishing spots are easy to find around Warrnambool.

Travel Tip

Hopkins Falls

For something completely different, take a trip out to Hopkins Falls. These falls are located about 8 kilometres off the Princes Highway between Panmure and Allansford. Look for the 'Cudgee' turnoff. These falls can be quite impressive, particularly after good periods of rain.
